Last week I lost two fair sized fish because I couldn't stop them from

going
airborne. I try to keep my rod tip down and keep the line tight but

this
has been a reoccurring problem for me.This year alone I guess I've lost
maybe a dozen or so fish. At the first of the year I blamed it on poor
hooksets so I improved my hook set technique .[taking time to reel in

slack
before setting the hook etc]I guess every one looses fish that jump

every
once in a while but it happens a lot with me .As always, I'm open to any
tips or suggestions
thanks for your time

Do what I do when a fish jumps and gets off.....

Laugh loud and long, give a tip of your hat and admit that he/she won that
round!
